Verbal Question of the Day: 6
CR- Summary Question
Q. Post-2014, cow vigilante groups have emerged as the most prominent non-state actors in terms of their capacity to unleash violence. They strike at will even in regions not governed by the BJP. Given the shoddy nature of the allegations levelled by these groups, the objective seems more to target Muslim traders and citizens than rescuing cows. The brutal attack on two Muslims last week in Hapur is the latest instance of this pernicious trend. Hence, it would be more appropriate to call these groups as Muslim vigilante groups.
Which one of the following captures the essence of the above paragraph?
A. While making shoddy allegations of cows coming to harm, the actions of cow vigilante groups have formed an insidious trend of attacks on members of the Muslim community.
B. Seeing that the actions of cow vigilante groups have had the de facto target of violence towards Muslims, it would be more appropriate to call them Muslim Vigilante Groups.
C. After the brutal attack in Hapur, cow vigilante groups must be rechristened ‘Muslim Vigilante Groups’.
D. Cow vigilante groups are actually disguised Muslim Vigilante Groups, which have become the most prominent non-state actors in terms of their capacity to unleash violence.
